Old West Buildings from 4Ground

Main Street Building No2 and 3

I'm dusting off all my wild west stuff as I intend to start playing Dead Man's Hand again. My intention now is to finished all half finished stuff and everything unpacked, and this was two of the latter.

Main Street Building 3 from 4Ground

A view from the back

Finished these two-story buildings from 4Ground in a couple of evenings and they do look great.

We did have a game of Zombicide: Black Plague last week. Well, two games actually, but our chaps got massacred very early in the first.

Ooops, two extra activations for the runners seals our fate as one of the heroes fails his six (!) armor saves. The other ones in the space were down to one hit point each. End of game 1.

Hurry up! They're coming!

Most of the zombies are on the board and we get lots of extra zombie activations. It's close. Both our demise and the exit-zone.

We randomize which of the painted heroes we get to play with and sometimes it is less than optimal, which is interesting. First game was one of those, when we had no magic-user and no shooter. It went downhill very fast.

Yippee! We win!

The other game was really close and very fun.

Also, every figure from the base game is painted! Now there's only a... few.. left unpainted from the kickstarter. Or maybe a little more than a few.

Hi there, Michael!In the last pic you can see one 28mm figure, but she is really more like 32 mm. As you can see a 20mm figure would be really tiny, and I just checked with a 1/72 (20mm) German WWII soldier, and he looked really small, unfortunately.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
